Cheyenne was ticked off at Alan and decides not to talk to him.
(I am NOT a little girl! I'm eleven years old, for Pete's sake!) she thinks angrily.
She feels a hand go on her shoulder. She grabs it, turns around, and sees Trent.
"Sorry, Trent. I thought you were someone else."
"It's okay. I shouldn't have startled you like that. Are you okay?"
"I'm fine. I just hate being treated like a little kid."
"I see."
"I just hate being bossed around."
"So do I, Chey. We're in the same boat. My dad forced me to do a lot of things."
"Like what?"
"Hunting, fishing, stuff like that."
"Oh."
"I'm an animal lover, which is why I'm a vegan."
"You're a vegan?"
"Yeah. It has been hard for me to practice my bow and arrow to kill animals here in Narnia."
"But these animals kept trying to kill us."
"True, but I still need to get used to it. I'm still shaken up by the tiger incident."
"So am I."
"The others might not think like I do, but you are a very noble person, Cheyenne."
"Thanks, Trent."
"You're welcome. Truth be told, I would've done the same thing if I were you."
"Really?"
"Yeah. Like I said, I'm an animal lover. Besides, in a war, a good soldier never leave a man behind."
"You got that off of Toy Story, didn't you?"
"Yeah, but it's true."
"You're right, Trent. I'm glad we agree on this."
"However, Alan does have a point. We all need to be careful."
Cheyenne nods.
"I'll remember that."
"Good. And remember that even though he can be annoying at times, Alan's your big brother and just looking out for you. He really loves you."
"I know, but like I said, I hate it when people treat me like a little kid."
"That's reasonable. Anybody would feel the same way if they were in your position."
She shrugs. They all walk for another hour and a half, during which Alan and Cheyenne don't say a word to each other. Trent, Tamryn, and Samuel consider this a good thing, because they figure that distancing themselves from each other might help them with letting off some steam. Trian and the wolves were slightly uncomfortable with the tension between Cheyenne and Alan. Trian turns toward everyone.
"Alright, we will rest for five minutes, then we will practice before we go into the forest."
Everyone nods and lies on the grass. Each of them take deep breaths and close their eyes.
(Mom and Dad would kill me if they found out about the tiger incident.) Alan thinks. (Which is why I won't tell them. What they don't know won't hurt them.)
He looks over at Cheyenne.
(If anything happened to her, I'd never forgive myself.)
Samuel looks over at Cheyenne, who was staring at the sky and running her fingers through her hair.
"Cheyenne?"
She turns her head and looks at him.
"Yeah, Samuel?"
"Are you alright?"
"I'm fine. I just need to clear my head."
"Are you sure you're okay?"
"Yes, Samuel. I'm fine."
"I'm just making sure you're alright."
"Thanks, Samuel. I appreciate you're concern."
"You're welcome."
Trian tells them that it is time for them to practice using their weapons. The kids nod and spread out to use their weapons. Tamryn and Samuel partner up to spar. They eye each other and wait for the other to attack. Samuel lunges at her, but Tamryn manages to keep him at bay and pushes him backwards. He manages to balance himself. While trying to deflect his attacks, Tamryn waits for an opportunity to strike. She soon finds it. She dodges him by bending forward and places her elbow against his shoulder blade and stops. By this time, the both of them were breathing hard.
"I have to admit, that is a clever strategy, Tamryn."
"Thank you."
"You're welcome."
"Although, you need to keep practicing. You need to watch your back."
"I know what you mean."
"That battle at the river was just a taste of what we're in for once the war starts."
"Yeah. I'm not looking forward to this war."
"Neither am I. And I'm sure Alan, Cheyenne, and Trent feel the same way about this."
"I think you're right on this subject."
